Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a mixer on medium speed. This should take about 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs, lemon extract, and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix until well blended. Mix in the white chocolate chips.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it into balls, about 2 tablespoons each. The dough may be a bit crumbly but will become smoother as you roll it. Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving at least 2 inches in between each cookie. Flatten the balls slightly with your hand to help them spread.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- When the cookies have cooled completely, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
